César Azpilicueta has admitted he considered leaving Chelsea last season until deciding to “stay in my home” after the turmoil that ushered in a new era under Todd Boehly.
The Chelsea captain signed a two-year contract extension last week having held talks over a return to Spain with Barcelona. His previous deal had been due to expire this summer, although Chelsea activated a 12-month extension clause and the club’s former owners had offered a new one-year contract.
